Performing new track
"Unbelievable" with Hanson on NBC's "Today" Tuesday, July 14

Announces fall headline tour with support from Rozzi Crane

Owl
City's fifth full-length album, "Mobile Orchestra" [Republic Records/Capitol
CMG], is available today. You can get it HERE.

Celebrating
the release, the multiplatinum, chart-dominating pop maven - also known as Adam
Young - returns to NBC's "Today" on Tuesday July 14. He will be joined by
collaborators Hanson for the new track "Unbelievable," giving audiences
everywhere the first official performance of the song. Watch the animated
companion video HERE.

With
"Mobile Orchestra," Owl City dives deeper into his faith than ever
before.

"I
definitely wanted to write in a way that pointed more directly to my faith and
how important it is to me," Young said in a recent interview with Guideposts.org.
"I wanted to write a couple of songs that were really vulnerable and
honest. I just imagined if I was feeling really lonely or down in the dumps,
what's the kind of song that I could really use?"

Some
examples on the album include "You're Not Alone (feat. Britt
Nicole)," which hit No. 1 on the Christian Hot AC/CHR chart, and
"My Everything," which has a radio add date of July 31. Check out the
"My Everything" music video, which recently debuted on Relevant.com.

"It's
songs like those that I hope at the end of the day can serve as encouragement
for those who feel spiritually weary or tired," Young told HearItFirst.com.

If
you haven't seen Owl City yet, you'll get a chance to this fall. Owl City will
be hitting the road on a U.S. headline tour with support from pop songstress
Rozzi Crane. The trek begins Oct. 5 at The Cannery in Nashville, hits major
cities everywhere and wraps Oct. 26 at House of Blues in Anaheim, California.
Fans will have the opportunity to opt into special VIP upgrades. Tickets are
available here.

Musically
imagined everywhere from airports and hotels to tour buses, the album "Mobile
Orchestra" follows up 2012's "Midsummer Station," which debuted top 10 on
the Billboard Top 200 and boasted the double-platinum duet
with Carly Rae Jepsen, "Good Time." The new record also features
standout collaborations with country star Jake Owen, "Back Home," pop
luminaries Hanson, "Unbelievable," and more. Meanwhile, tracks
"My Everything" and "Bird with a Broken Wing" illuminate his
progression as a songwriter with a balance between vibrancy and vulnerability.
